The Fantasia-Suite, pioneered by Coprario
and Lawes, was a relatively later
development than the one-movement fantasia. It consists of an
opening fantasia, followed by related dance movements. Likewise,
the violin came later to serious music than did the viol, and it
is believed that Jenkins probably intended these suites to use
violins in the top part. Using four instruments (along with
continuo) as opposed to the usual three, was Jenkins own innovation,
later solidified by Locke. The Lyra
Consort was likewise pioneered by Coprario and Lawes.
